The heat wave across Australia has spiked to unfathomable levels as the ominously-labeled “dome of heat” blankets the continent, sparking wildfires that have caused more than $60 million in damage and claimed more than 120 homes. The average temperature stretched above 39° Celsius (102° F) for six consecutive days, and local temperatures were so high that the Australian Bureau of Meteorology was inclined to add a new hue to their heat map — a deep purple shade — which indicates a temperature above 50° C (122° F).

Sorry Paulpot. You obviously have not been to Australia. I live there and your recommendations will solve nothing. Unfortunately, it is the weather cycle we live in. For thousands of years this is the natural way of the bush. Now with civilisation touching the fringes it is impacting on humanity in a bigger way.
